Chapter 528 Selling Eggs
But you need to pay attention to the number of eggs you eat, and control the amount every day. It can’t be too much, otherwise it’s hard to explain if there are too many.”
In fact, more than 50,000 eggs do not take up much space, but if some are not sold now, there will be more accumulated later and it will be even harder to sell them.
Everyone discussed it at once, and finally, based on everyone's opinions, it was decided to sell it first in restaurants in the county and prefectural cities, and then sell it in shops.
After deciding on the method of selling eggs, the Taoist priest asked, "How much do you plan to sell each egg for? If you sell in large quantities, the price may have to be lower than usual."
Xu Han said, "Normally eggs are one penny each, if we plan to sell them individually, we can buy 10 eggs and give one egg for free.
If it's a restaurant, it can be cheaper, 8 cents for 10 pieces."
After hearing the price, several people all thought it was okay. After all, it was sold in large quantities, so the price must be more favorable.
"This price is good. It's not too cheap, but we can still make money."
After everyone discussed it, Grandpa Zhao urged the two to go to bed quickly so that they could travel to the county town tomorrow.
When the two children heard that their mother and father were going on a long journey again and would not be at home for several days, they insisted on sticking together and sleeping together at night.
Xu Han looked at her two sons and finally couldn't bear to refuse them.
"Then go get your pillows and quilts and sleep with us tonight."
Lu Chuan looked at his wife with resentment, but Xu Han pretended not to see his eyes, lowered her head and avoided him directly.
Because it was Xu Han and Lu Chuan's room, after Mu'er and Ze'er moved out to sleep, their small beds were directly moved out by Lu Chuan.
So when it was time to sleep tonight, the two children had to squeeze on a kang with them. Fortunately, the kang was big enough, otherwise they would not be able to wake up.
Ze'er and Mu'er were lying on Xu Han's left and right. The two children were holding one of Xu Han's arms, making it impossible for Xu Han to move. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Chuan looked around and saw that there was no place for him next to his wife. He couldn't help but get jealous and said, "How old are you two? You still sleep with your mother in your arms. Aren't you ashamed?"
Mu'er knew her father too well, so she pretended not to hear, but she held Xu Han's arm even tighter.
Ze'er wanted to retort, but when his brother remained silent, he swallowed the words back.
Seeing that his two sons ignored him, Lu Chuan felt bored and thought to himself, "Forget it, since I won't be home for the next few days, I'll just bypass them. Besides, my wife sleeps with me every day, so I'll just be merciful and give my wife to them temporarily today!"
Xu Han watched the father and his two sons quarreling with each other without interrupting them, just letting them make a fuss on their own.
Maybe she was too tired during the day, and she fell asleep first while thinking. When the father and his two sons saw her fall asleep, they stopped talking consciously.
Have a good night's sleep...
The next morning, Xu Han and Lu Chuan each carried a backpack and set off early.
The two of them went to the county town this time, thinking that there was nothing much on the surface, so they just paddled the boat there.
Of course, what they told the servants was that they were going to the county town to sell eggs, so Xu Han and Lu Chuan specially carried backpacks and baskets for this purpose.
This excuse is also very appropriate. After all, for such a long time, except for the eggs we eat daily, the rest of the eggs have not been processed.
Although others were also curious about where the eggs were placed, they never asked.
So when Xu Han said today that the two of them were going to the county town to sell eggs, they didn't think much about it. They just thought it was the most normal thing.
After all, our family collects a lot of eggs every day. If we say that we eat them all without leaving any, obviously no one will believe us.
After the two arrived at the county town, seeing that it was still early, they did not go back to the house directly, but chose to go straight to the largest restaurant in the county town.
It was not dinner time yet, so there were not many people in the restaurant. Lu Chuan went in directly with the backpack on his back. The waiter saw the two people coming in with the backpacks on their backs, but he did not neglect them. He went up to them and asked, "Would you like to eat, gentlemen?"
Lu Chuan said, "Brother Xiaoer, I have some eggs from my own chickens. I wonder if your restaurant will accept them?"
The waiter politely replied, "I'm so sorry, sir. The eggs in our restaurant are all sent directly by farmers. Today's eggs have already been delivered, so I guess they are not needed for the time being."
Just when Xu Han wanted to ask him to help ask if he needed to buy more, a young man came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The waiter immediately nodded and said, "Boss, these two guests are selling eggs. They came to our restaurant to ask if we need to buy eggs."
The shopkeeper looked up at the two of them and said with a smile, "The eggs in our restaurant are delivered by a special person. We don't need them for the time being. You can ask somewhere else."
Xu Han felt a little disappointed when he heard this. This was the largest restaurant in the county. If even they didn't need it, it would probably be the same for other places.
It is understandable that they do not accept eggs sold by other people. After all, eggs cannot be stored for a long time. If you buy too many and cannot use them all, they will go bad.
Instead of doing this, it’s better to buy less at a time and eat fresh ones!
Although they were disappointed, the other party treated them with courtesy, so they could not lose their manners. The couple said goodbye politely and continued to walk to the next restaurant.
I went to several restaurants in a row, but got the same result every time. In the end, none of the products were sold.
Xu Han hung her head and said, "What should we do? Is that it? We don't really have to sell them one by one!"
Lu Chuan said, "Don't worry, it's still early. Let's go back to the house and rest. We can rent a carriage in the afternoon and go to the city tomorrow."
Xu Han nodded, cheered up and said, "Okay, let's go to the city first. Even if we can't sell it in the city, we can just set up a stall to sell it in the city. There are many people there and the demand is great, so we will definitely be able to sell it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. Let's go back to the house and rest."
The first thing they did when they arrived at the house was to clean up.
No one has lived in the house for a long time and it looks deserted.
It seems that after the autumn planting is finished, we have to start preparing to open a shop as soon as possible.
At that time, let the servants live directly in the house and help with cleaning and maintenance in their spare time, so that they don’t have to clean when they come next time.
The uninhabited house quickly fell into disrepair. It was autumn now and the yard was full of fallen leaves.
Xu Han started cleaning the room where they would sleep tonight, while Lu Chuan went to clean the yard.
After Xu Han cleaned the house, Lu Chuan only swept half of the yard. Xu Han glanced at the fallen leaves on the ground and said, "Let me sweep with you. It's hard for you to sweep such a big yard by yourself."
Xu Han didn't wait for Lu Chuan to refuse, she just picked up the broom and started working.
